I take thyroid meds. Every morning. 1hr before food. I have done this pretty much perfectly for 8 years.
Tonight I’m staying in a hotel before delivering a presentation at the biggest conference of my professional career. And I’m doing my evening wind down routine… So I grab by pill box, open the left compartment, DOWN THE HATCH.
Fuck. Ive taken tomorrow mornings meds. Instead of tonights. That means I’ve taken these tablets 12 hrs early.
Thyroid hormones are kind of like the master thermostat or gas peddle of the body. Too much or too little turns everything up or down. And I’ve just gone peddle-to-the-metal right when I’m supposed to be getting a good nights sleep! FML.
I’ve called 111 (UK non emergency) and they’ve confirmed that it’s very unlikely anything lethal will happen (hurrah!!) but I feel like such a total fucking SPOON for doing something so silly!
Odds on I’m going to feel rough tonight / tomorrow, when I really need to be at my best and it’s ALL MY FAULT 🙃.
TL;DR took my daily thyroid meds 12 hrs early - totally sabotaging myself before a massive conference presentation. Je suis daft!!
